## Understand local\-only and automatic uploads

- ID: desktop\-recording\-context
- Type: improved
- Area: desktop\-recording
- Availability: unverified

Updated the desktop recording screen with clearer status, expandable details and explanations of local\-only and automatic upload behavior\.

Recordings started with Local only on did not upload just because you signed in\. With it off, pending recordings could upload after sign\-in\.

## Manage local recordings beside the meeting library

- ID: native\-capture\-management
- Type: added
- Area: desktop\-recording
- Availability: unverified

Added local\-recording controls for playback, naming and upload\-state information alongside the meeting library\.

These controls managed the local recording copy, rather than deleting cloud meeting content\.

## Keep assembling a recording when the screen share resizes

- ID: screen\-share\-resizing
- Type: fixed
- Area: recordings
- Availability: unverified

Fixed a problem that could leave a combined recording unavailable after a presenter resized a screen share during the call\.

## Keep usable text when some passages do not translate

- ID: original\-wording
- Type: fixed
- Area: transcripts
- Availability: unverified

Translated passages remained readable when other passages were unavailable in the chosen language\.

Those passages could appear in their original wording, so the transcript could contain more than one language\.
